Hi! So come June of 2013 my family and I are going to Europe carnival cruise lines tycoon and I was wondering if a week would be enough to visit the main spots of London Paris. carnival cruise lines tycoon Nothing to much to cherish simply see, few pictures, carnival cruise lines tycoon walk around here and there and that's all. Thanks for any feedback.
Visit only 1 city. Three a half days in each isn't nearly carnival cruise lines tycoon enough time to even get a glimps of the "main spots" (which there are dozens dozens of). You'll also want to wander around and enjoy the ambience of each city.
This is not a question that all will agree on. If you want to hit just a few high spots, a week might suffice. But if you want to enjoy a city, spend a week in one place. If you can extend your trip to 10 days, you can have a better visit in London and Paris. Five days in each will allow you to hit many of the "main spots" but probably not to get a feeling for both cities.
yes, of course, it is. I often only spend 3-4 days visiting a city for the first time. In fact, I think I almost always do. If I really like a place or feel some connection to it, I will re-visit carnival cruise lines tycoon or spend more time there next time. I think 3-4 days is fine for getting a taste of a place and seeing some highlights.
Of course, five days in each city would be optimal. But you can get a decent taste of both cities with fewer days. Whatever you decide, no doubt, you will want to return to London and Paris many times in your life. There is just so much to see and do in each.
You can do it but it will be rushed. The first time I went to London with my daughters, we were there for 3 days and Paris for 3. I had been to London before so had seen many of the major sights already. We managed to get in the highlights for them. None of us had been to Paris and of course it wasn't long enough. But I agree with those that feel that if that's all the time you have, then go for it. Of course we'd all love to spend a week, two weeks, a month in those cities but that often isn't possible. Plus it gives you an opportunity to map out what you want to see when you come back the next time.
We took the chunnel from London to Paris. It was a quick and easy way to get between the two cities. I would suggest, though, that you look for an open jaw ticket. We flew into London and out of Paris. This way you aren't spending some of that precious time getting back to the original city for your flight home.
OK . . . IF you are literally talking about a week total then no way. 7 days minus 1 flying overseas, minus 1 recovering from jetlag, minus 1/2 traveling between carnival cruise lines tycoon London and Paris, minus 1 flying home. Leaves you 3.5 days actually free.
Fodors posters are not allowed to just visit the main spots of a city. Especially the great cities of Europe. We need to feel, to breathe, to become a part of a city. We're explorers, historians and connoisseurs. Not tourists.
I think an important point is do you mean a total of 7 days holiday, in which case you are actually talking about 5 days of visiting. since the first and last days don't really count for much.The first day you arrive ( usually in early morning, but you are tired, then have to get to hotel and check in, and try and stay up ,since carnival cruise lines tycoon you will be jet lagged) so can only fit a bit in on first day. Then last day is nothing but trip to airport. So, max is six days.
Day you travel between the two cities. Well, you have to check out of hotel and get to station ( San Panreas or Gare du Nord) 45 minutes ahead of train , so theres an hour and a half. Then trip is 2.5 hours, then get to next hotel. carnival cruise lines tycoon So that leaves you about 1/2 a day in new city.
I am wondering if the whole trip is a week or the London/Paris portion is a week of a longer trip? Actually either way I say a week is enough time to hit a few highlights and get a taste of both cities. I doubt this will be the one and only time you and or they go to Europe. So, work with what you have. Enjoy!
First time when I was in Paris, it was because I miss a flight connection, so I had one afternoon and one morning to visit Paris. I knew theoretically what I would like to see and walk a lot, between Notre Damme, Louvre, Arc Triumph and Tour Eiffel. I visited only Notre Damme. In the morning, on the way to airport, I asked the taxi driver to make a detour and take me to see Sacre Couer.
First time in London it was also between two flights, I had there a day and a half. I took a city tour - full day tour, it included also the visit of Tower of London. carnival cruise lines tycoon At the end of the tour I had time to walk in Trafalgar Square (where my hotel was), Piccadilly carnival cruise lines tycoon Circus, Pall Mall.
I enjoyed these two very , very short visit in these beautiful cities. From then, I returned many times to each of them, each time for longer periods ( 5 - 12 days), but I still remember my emotion and joy when I first visited them for a very, very short time.
